Fine, lacy foliage, that’s the first thing that should come to mind when thinking about dissected Japanese maple.
Asian in origin, this deciduous tree tends to have a smaller stature than other Japanese maples and sports arching branches that give it a broad, mounded appearance. There is a lot of variation in leaf color and sometimes shape, depending on the cultivar, but overall leaves may be yellow-green or green to purple-red turning shades of purple, red, orange and yellow in the fall.
These adaptable trees prefer sites with humus-rich, well-drained soil and partial shade. Some may self-sow, but not invasively. Japanese maple is versatile in the landscape and may be grown as a feature plant, in a mixed border, or as a bonsai.
